Fox, Cumulus Media and Dick Clark Productions have announced that the second annual American Country Countdown Awards will air live on Sunday, May 1. The show is scheduled to run on Fox from 8PM ET until 10PM ET. The ceremony's location has not been revealed.

“Fans of the American Country Countdown [radio program] are some of the most loyal and passionate fans around, so it’s a natural next step to bring that popular brand to television,” Simon Andreae, executive vice president of alternative entertainment for Fox, said at the time. “Fox has a long history of big, bold music events ..."

In December, place of the awards show, Fox instead aired a television special, American Country Countdown’s Top 10 Stories of 2015. The hour-long program featured appearances from Aldean, Bryan, FGL and many more.
